Better Stock Today Challenge: InvenSense vs. DistributionNow

In the spirit of World Cup competition, we're holding our own tournament in search of the Better Stock Today. We're pitting 32 companies against each other and you, the reader, will determine the winner.

InvenSense (NYSE: INVN) takes on DistributionNow (NYSE: DNOW) for this first round-robin match up in our search for the better stock today.

Tech analyst Max Macaluso believes one of the top reasons to be an InvenSense bull today has to do with the company's tremendous growth potential. This sensor specialist has already benefited from wider adoption of mobile devices, and looks poised to also benefit from the growing wearable technology trend. Couple that with its dedication to research and development, and InvenSense can be a market leader over the long-term.

Joel South, energy analyst at The Motley Fool, thinks newly minted DistributionNow is worthy of your vote as this energy equipment supplier looks to consolidate the fragmented energy supply chain segment by purchasing bolt-on acquisitions and leveraging its presence in 20 countries to be the one stop shop for energy producers and service providers in the world's oil fields. With 19% market share, no debt, and proven leadership, DistributionNow has the tools to disrupt the status quo and reward shareholders along the way.
